Anew deep-sea search for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 is set to begin before the turn of the year, as marine robotics firm Ocean Infinity prepares to deploy a significantly upgraded fleet of autonomous underwater systems. The mission signals the most technologically advanced effort yet to locate the aircraft, more than 11 years after it vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

Ocean Infinity, the US- and UK-based marine robotics company, will launch a large-scale survey of a 15,000km2 area in the southern Indian Ocean. Deep-sea operations are scheduled to resume on 30 December and will run intermittently over a 55-day window, Malaysia’s transport ministry confirmed on Wednesday.

This summer scientists drilled deep below the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of northeastern US and tapped into a huge, mysterious reservoir of freshwater — what they discovered could have big implications for a world grappling with an increasingly severe water crisis.

The existence of freshwater beneath the Atlantic has been known for decades, but it had remained virtually unexplored. In the 1960s and 70s, scientific expeditions and companies drilling the ocean for resources such as oil would sometimes hit fresh water.

Then, in 2019, scientists from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and Columbia University announced a “surprising discovery.”

US oil production rose to record highs in September, data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) showed on Friday, shrugging off concerns that the market is heading towards a surplus.

US crude oil output rose 44,000 barrels per day in September to a record 13.84 million bpd, according to EIA data.

Oil output from New Mexico, the second-largest oil producing state, hit a record 2.351 million bpd, while output from the federal offshore gulf region rose to 1.983 million bpd in September, the highest since February 2020.

Future US oil production growth is expected to be concentrated in the offshore gulf region as the

Cross section of the core of a mature hurricane. 

The axisymmetric primary swirling motion (curved black arrows) of the vortex is sustained by a radial and vertical secondary circulation (red arrows) that consists of frictional inflow that loses angular momentum to the sea as it gains moist enthalpy and a convective updraft around the eye that turns the latent heat into sensible heat to provide the buoyancy needed to loft air from the surface to tropopause level.

The updraft entrains midlevel air promoting mass and angular momentum convergence (blue arrow). It is this inflow that supplies the excess angular momentum needed to spin up the vortex. Precipitation driven convective updrafts (vertical black arrow) form as hydrometeors fall from the outward
